She says that the focus on Tel Aviv, which is 100 years old this year is an attempt to redraw the bad image of Israel.

I think this sound ridiculous. It is obvious, that states like the USA, Russia, Germany, etc. etc. do much worse. But no one would suggest not doing a dedication to New York, Moscow or Berlin. To paint a picture of Tel Aviv in a movie sense should be ok for every state. To think that Israel should be judged differently jsut because it is a jewish state is antisemetic in my view.

Israel has fewer inhabitants as New York, but still it is judged as it would be larger as the USA.
